The official tablet (and other useless electronics) thread!

So I think my battery super-drain stemmed from using the Google Now Launcher. It's awesome in theory because it always knows where you are and tries to predict a bunch of shit about what's nearby or on your calendar. It also chews through battery at an insane rate, because it never lets any aspect of the phone rest.

I switched to Nova Launcher and things have been way better. TouchWiz is largely fine but there are a few elements of it that make me wonder which intern's design made it to production - so this lets me avoid that.

Everything is snappy, the fingerprint reader is faster than my iPhone 6 was (granted, this is a newer phone). The camera, so far, is really fantastic.

I do like having a dedicated Back button. Nice touch.
